About the organisation

The Saint Petersburg charitable organisation, Perspektivy, was registered in 1999 as a Russian partner of a German organisation, Perspektiven e.V., which started supporting disabled children in Saint Petersburg in 1996. Close and consistent cooperation with Perspektiven e.V. enables Perspektivy to help physically and mentally disabled children (Pavlovsk Programme), disabled adults (Peterhof Programme) and to support families bringing up a severely disabled child (Family Support Programme).
The main goal of Perspektivy is to create suitable living conditions for severely mentally and physically disabled children, which are as similar as possible to the living conditions of ordinary people and, furthermore, to introduce them to and ensure that they become accustomed to their living environments once they have reached adulthood.
